Question
Dear Rabbi, This may be an unanswerable question but it is a serious one. Why have Jewish boys always insisted on insulting and interrupting me in school and at public social gatherings ? Now so it is possible for you to understand, I was not raised by parents, but my father was born with the family name of Solomon and my mother was the daughter of a woman born Jewish and abandoned and raised by a Christian family. My name is not recognized as Jewish and was changed by the government when I was 3. I am very intelligent and some have bluntly said that they hated me for that. The assaults have been very serious at times resulting in broken bones from people I had not talked to, looked at or ever seen before. More usually just insults and shoving. Some grab at food on my plate and push. I did not know the people commiting the offenses , at least the first time they did it, when at school or work.

Question
I have a hat that has two small (1.5 inch) emblems of five point stars drawn onto it. They look like the stars on the US flag. Is there any prohibition against this?

Question
I work with about * Jews including myself and everyone is arguing over the meening of a Slang Yiddish term. If you could help me out it would be FANTASTIC. The word is Cocamon or Kakamon pronounced (caca-moan) I'm suer it's spelled differently but if you could help me I would bea very happy person. I've heard it means crazy face, or like if the person is wall eyed that means (caca-moan)
